House - Physical Description 1
45 Walker Street is a two-storey Edwardian style row-house of red brick construction. The terrace house building type was unusual for this period, as municipalities on the fringe of inner Melbourne were encouraging detached suburban house development for better access to light and air. Some of the narrow frontage nineteenth-century lots survived, however, which virtually dictated a row-house form.
The house has a two-storey cast-iron verandah with geometric style frieze work and balustrade panels. The verandah at first floor level has a bull nose corrugated iron roof Roughcast panels are located beneath the window sills, and the red brick wing walls are decorated with pressed cement acanthus leaf consoles. A large half-timbered gable terminates the street elevation.
Alterations include the construction of a high brick fence, probably replacing a timber picket fence.
